Blogs

Tweet daily, blog weekly and video monthly is the mantra currently doing the rounds. I'm not sure who decided on this schedule, but as I said in my last post regarding the advent of trendfear in relation to social media, I’d rather consider what I’m trying to achieve before I invest valuable time in tweeting, blogging and uploading videos onto YouTube.

I decided to incorporate this blog into my website for the following reasons:

Earlier this week, the BBC reported on plans by universities to introduce social networked learning. This has apparently triggered anxiety amongst some academics who have been encouraged to engage with their students via social media.

I'm on a quest to find any early timetables or railway posters advertising trips to Fleet Pond. Next year, Fleet will be celebrating the Diamond Jubilee with a ‘Best of British’ themed carnival. I'd love to be able to recreate a poster for this event, based on an original design.

Writing Magazine holds a monthly competition, inviting readers to submit short stories on a set theme or genre. I'm planning to enter September's Ghostly Last Line competition. The story should be between 1500-1700 words, and the closing line must be 'What kind of a fool believes in ghosts?'
